BBC Podcast Swingers

[myoka]

Just finished listening to the podcast Swingers on the BBC Sounds. It was a really hard and harrowing listen (not for the faint-hearted). Very interesting points around sexual consent and really had strong parcels with the Trans Widows story. Has Anyone else listened and thought the same. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/p0nqywd0?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile

Opps not "parcels", parallels!!!!

I listened to it after reading your post, what's the trans widow one?
Agree with you its a pretty grim listen but important that these things are highlighted.

What trans windows pod cast?

Everything Catrin Nye does is amazing! She did an amazing piece of journalism about ‘jobfishing’ and one about cults - I think it was called The Lighthouse?

@KingscoteStaff a very British cult, the life coaching company was the cult 🙂

That’s the one. She is an amazing journalist.

Here is the Trans Widows website, with first hand accounts of wives married to Transgender Women https://www.transwidowsvoices.org/

It’s a horrible but very gripping listen.

I do ask how many women live lives that are made worse by their male partner’s sexuality, and in particular the monetisation of male sexual drive via porn. I hope it is smaller than the number whose lives are better because of their partners’ sexuality but sometimes I wonder.

Is this the same as the one that there is an existing thread (link below) or another one?

Yes, it is, thanks for linking. I didn't realise there was another thread!!!

Well its a while back. I just remember because I thought I dont think I want to watch this.

I've only just listened to it this week, and thought it was extremely interesting. It is very disturbing, but the reporter did an excellent job in navigating some very dark themes.
